Companion Regenerative Therapy

Platelet Rich Plasma is made from your dog’s own blood, which contains platelets. Platelets are the body’s “First Responders” in an injury. They aid in the repair process for diseased or damaged tissue and attract stem cells, which are essential for natural regeneration of healthy tissue. PRP therapy injection contains a higher concentration of platelets delivered directly to the source of pain or injury. For most canine patients they will receive an initial injection then a subsequent PRP booster.

We have the leading Canine Validated Centrifuge. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is an effective treatment for many musculoskeletal conditions, and it carries less risk and expense than surgical treatment. Good for performance dogs such as Schutzhund, Agility, and Field dogs. Service dogs such as Police, Search and Rescue, and Assistance dogs will get back to work faster with PRP therapy.
